Retirement age is just a number for today’s guest. Rob Moore joins Jeffrey from the UK to talk about how often he’s retired…and unretired, and how he’s making the most of it this time around.

That’s when he decided to disrupt himself and work towards a goal of selfish selflessness. Rob and Jeffrey talk about why climbing the ladder of success isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, why conventional wisdom isn’t very wise and the power of proving yourself. If you want to hear real talk about the ups and downs of success, this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett is a must listen.

When we think of who’s a high performer, our brains are programmed to think about athletes or c-level executives at the top of their game. Their margin of error is small, the fan base is vocal and stockholders are looking out for the bottom line. But, we should include musicians on this list as the hours of training, the level of skill, and the toll it can take on the psyche is a significant one. Dr. Noa Kageyama, is a high-performance psychologist at the prestigious Juilliard School in NYC. He specializes in teaching musicians how to use sports psychology principles to thrive under pressure.

There are many topics that are considered taboo -- sex, politics, and religion are the most notable. However, there is another topic that we're still not talking about: wealth!
